Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Wang Shaojie's pupils trembled, and his face turned ashen.

Xu Guoyi affectionately patted her head, then spoke again, his words as cold as ice:

"What you don't know is that I, the Sun and Moon, also have another bright moon, which is the Silver Moon Prince beside me."

He then gestured to Kong Tianxu.

This was also the first time Kong Tianxu had met this emperor. He bowed slightly and, amidst Xu Tianzhen's strange expression, moved to the other side of him.

"The person you need to arrest is his only grandson."

"Now--"

Xu Guoyi spoke extremely slowly, almost with pauses and breaks in his speech, and finally, his words struck like a heavy hammer:

Who else do you want to take?

Wang Shaojie's lips trembled, his face deathly pale: "Your Majesty..."

Kong Tianxu leaned down, looking at the arrogant dark-skinned youth who had been so haughty not long ago, with a half-smile:

"Comparing power? Comparing backgrounds?"

He paused slightly, his contempt undisguised:

"You think you're worthy?"

With a soft "click," Su Muzhe finally broke free from the hole in the wall and collapsed unconscious.

That was the sound of Wang Shaojie cracking.

The Soul Guidance Guards, hidden throughout the academy, acted swiftly, apprehending the Royal Inspectorate members, along with Su Muzhe and Xu Yunhuang. Under the Emperor's command of "Rise" and Jing Hongchen's direction, the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy gradually restored order.

In the crowd, a tall figure kept looking back, deeply imprinting Kong Tianxu's face in her heart, her dark red hair swaying slightly with her movements.

Perhaps, given his status, he could rescue his parents...

Unbeknownst to her, a young man with a cold and sinister aura glanced at her and then at Kong Tianxu, a strange smile slowly curving his lips.

He was dressed in all black, an ominous and eerie black.

……

"Grandpa and the others just left like that?"

In the infirmary, Cain went to the cafeteria to get food for them, while Xu Tianzhen volunteered to bandage his wounds.

Kong Tianxu leaned on his arm, looking at the busy girl in front of him, still pondering the meaningful looks Xu Guoyi and his group had given him earlier.

He originally thought that, based on Xu Guoyi's previous performance in the observation room and the importance that the level nine soul masters attached to the civilian use of soul guides, he should have been pulled into the laboratory by now to reproduce the outer shell structure of the soul guide gun.

Unexpectedly, Xu Guoyi only spoke with him for a few moments, and the other level-nine soul masters simply exchanged brief names with him before leaving. Only Luanfeng patted him on the shoulder and looked at him meaningfully for a long time.

Well, what's coming will come eventually. Anyway, with Grandpa around, they can't pull off any tricks.

"Tianzhen, you haven't finished bandaging yet. If you don't hurry, it'll heal already."

He moved his right arm. The red marks caused by Ji Juechen's sword intent had disappeared, but the wound on his knuckles had only just begun to scab over.

The opponent's strength was indeed extraordinary. Even after his sword energy was largely neutralized by the opponent's fist intent, it was still able to break through his silver dragon scales. If it was just a friendly spar, he had indeed lost.

However, just as he had thought, he had many ways to win. Even in a contest of fist and sword intent, if he went all out, he might not necessarily be the one to lose.

It seems that using fists against swords is a bit of a disadvantage, so he stretched out his palms.

"Alright!" Xu Tianzhen wiped non-existent beads of sweat from her forehead, examined her masterpiece, and smiled with satisfaction.

It should incorporate wind and fire attributes; those attributes are too overpowered...

Kong Tianxu stared silently at the bow in his hand, but finally gave the girl a thumbs up.

"you are awesome."

Chapter 62 A Banquet, Undercurrents

"Hehe, right? I think so too."

Xu Tianzhen nodded in satisfaction, her smooth short hair bouncing like a leaping watermelon rind.

For some reason, she leaned back on the table, her gaze falling on Kong Tianxu's long, slender, and fair hands with their distinct knuckles—and the crooked bow she had tied on them. She quietly raised her eyes, secretly observing his expression.

This time, their gazes met gently in mid-air, neither deviating from the other. Their eyes intertwined, creating something indescribable.

"What's wrong?" Kong Tianxu asked her with a smile.

Xu Tianzhen straightened up, tightened her slightly feverish cheeks, and said earnestly:

"I think this is unfair."

"Ok?"

“You call me naive, then I will call you Tianxu.”

"of course can."

"Tianxu".

"Ah."

"During the entrance exam... I thought you stopped because you couldn't replenish your soul power. I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

"When we were electing the class monitor, I didn't mean to undermine you... I don't know what happened, I just..."

"I'm very angry about this."

"Huh?" Xu Tianzhen opened her eyes wide and looked at him with a pitiful expression. "Then what should we do..."

Kong Tianxu looked at her rosy cheeks and delicate skin, which seemed so soft and supple, and stopped teasing her.

"From now on, you'll have to call me Tianxu."

"Is that even possible?" Xu Tianzhen's rosy lips parted slightly, and seeing the mischievous smile on Kong Tianxu's face, she smiled sweetly in return.

"Tianxu, my birthday is coming up soon. We'll be having a banquet at the Royal Villa in the suburbs. Are you coming?"

So that's where they were waiting, Kong Tianxu thought to himself.

Which day was it?

"forget."

"You can forget your own birthday?"

"Are they coming or not?"

"it is good"

"Hehe~"

Cain stood quietly outside the infirmary, holding three food boxes. The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's keen hearing picked up on the not-so-quiet conversation between the two inside.

She turned around, her long right leg slightly bent, and leaned against the wall. Sunlight gradually crept through the clouds, falling on her face, which was slightly paler than usual, giving it a transparent and delicate texture.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

The sun feels warm on my skin.

"Yin'er, why don't you come in?"

Kong Tianxu pushed open the door at some point, a smile on his lips, and naturally took the food box from her hand.

Cain smiled and followed him into the house, where the blood moon shimmered with a faint light.

Three people is fine too.

……

Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

On the north side of the palace complex, in a magnificent golden side hall, an elderly man in richly dressed robes with a ruddy nose wiped his face with his sleeve. Instantly, a large patch of his ornately embroidered robe was soaked with something that appeared to be either snot or tears.

"Your Highness Tianni, that's how it is. Yunhuang may be a bit immature, but he's still just a child. How could that kid, how could he..."

"What if we castrate him?"

His eyes were bloodshot as he cried out in anguish.

"The crucial point is that His Majesty actually agreed!"

"Your Highness, you must advise His Majesty that he can no longer trust outsiders so much. I know that Master Kong has made great contributions to the empire, but the reputation of our imperial family... cannot be thrown to the ground and trampled on like this!"

After saying this, Xu Guoli bowed deeply and began to sob, his long robe covering his face.

Sitting behind the desk, the man he called Tian Ni was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. His skin was also dark, but compared to Xu Tianran's dark complexion, he was as black as a lump of coal.

A very large, luxurious bright yellow robe was draped over his body, but it was still stretched taut by his obese frame.

"Uncle Guoli."

Xu Tianni called out to him, cut off a piece of the tender, juicy roasted meat in front of him, and put it in his mouth. Before he could even chew, the meat disappeared into his thick lips as his Adam's apple bobbed.

He let out a sigh that was hard to tell whether it was regret or satisfaction:

"Ugh."

He continued cutting meat and putting it into his mouth while continuing to speak:

“I know everything you’re saying. Mo Chen’s situation is actually not much better than Yun Huang’s. Uncle Guo Ti has also come to see me.”

"But I can't help it. I'm not like my eldest brother, who is favored by the Emperor and taken by his side in everything, and who can even influence some of the Emperor's decisions."

"Unless...you help me?"

He mumbled incoherently as he swallowed the roasted meat, his hands moving faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, the piece of roasted meat, which was the size of a human leg, was reduced to a bone.

Xu Guoli raised his bloodshot eyes, his sobs had stopped, and he quickly pondered the meaning behind Xu Tianni's words.

"I wonder what Your Highness is referring to?"

"I've heard that you've been in control of the Royal Soul Guidance Guard's messenger positions?"

Xu Guoli shuddered and quickly lowered his head, his heart filled with unspeakable shock.

This old story was tacitly approved by the late Emperor Xu Guozhi. Xu Tianni was just the son of a prince at the time, so how did he know about it?
